Current 2nd year analyst at PE MM fund. Noticed that HH inbounds have slowed pretty significantly. Curious if others are seeing this and if it relates to a slowdown in the hiring market. Pretty happy at my current fund and have been promoted, but open to looking around

Yes- slowed pretty significantly for both PE and HF. None of them are really acknowledging a broad based pullback , some are saying expect to pickup over next few weeks but I’m taking it with a grain of salt
Yes outreach been super slow. I’m VP level hire and it’s worse for us. Agreed on poster above — none of the HH will admit it’s slow.
Fwiw, I know a HH who said unfortunately none of his clients are hiring right now
Which one?
Pinpoint (Shitpoint) can’t seem to send me enough crap!
These guys are just insane. I must have 50+ blocked Pinpoint email addresses by now and they still somehow manage to send me 3-5 e-mails per week.
OMG , those guys are incredible ... They have been bombarding me with job specs for IB roles (and for non relevant teams...). Probably, one of the worse in London with Dartmouth...
Otherwise, agreed with the topic, things have slow down quite significantly in terms of PE roles or only selectively for diverse hires (females or non white backgrounds).
Glad I am not the only one who noticed this lmao
People tend to shit on pinpoint, but I like them. I went down a bit of an unusual path post my BB analyst years, pinpoint is one of the only few HHs willing to present my profile to their clients, unlike some other prestige-chasing HHs who wouldn't even take a look at me.
Which headhunter emails I should pay attention to?
Also get Asspoint a lot
Bump. How are inbounds now? Specifically interested in growth equity
they're trash
bumpty bump
I am really chatty with some of the hh’s.
they mentioned firms want to prioritize summer 2024/ 2025 cause of how messy on cycle is becoming but there are still opportunities for off cycle.
more hiring at higher levels, less at vp and below
